Partial Elopement Advice

This is what we are doing. We are taking 20 people with us to Gretna Green. We’ve got w package which include the ceremony and a three course meal. This costa roughly 2,000 so I would imagine with all the other bits like dress, suits, flowers etc we will come in at just under 5,000 in total. Good luck with your planning

We are looking at something similar too, as big white weddings are beautiful but just not quite right for us.


We are hoping to get married as late in the day as possible (around 4pm maybe) then go for a nice meal in the private dining room of a restaurant where we’ll have speeches and cake cutting to make it feel like a wedding, but also just really good food and good company! We are also looking at only inviting a few close family members, so we will be a very small wedding of probably 12 or so.
It is your wedding day, so it will feel special anyway, but remember that there are all kinds of things you can do with a table to make it look beautiful (there are lots of tiny wedding ideas on Pinterest), and you’ll all be dressed up too.
We were then thinking of sending out little wedding announcement cards with a photo or two on them for family we didn’t invite.
If you get any other ideas, please share them! I’m just getting started too
